Methods for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of primary and metastatic basal-like breast cancer and other cancer types |
摘要 |
In one embodiment, a method of theranostic classification of a breast cancer tumor is provided, comprising obtaining a breast cancer tumor sample from a subject, detecting an expression level of FOXC1, comparing the expression level of FOXC1 to a predetermined cutoff level, and classifying the breast cancer tumor sample as belonging to a theranostic basal-like breast cancer tumor subtype or a theranostic hybrid basal-like breast cancer tumor subtype when the expression level of FOXC1 is higher than the predetermined cutoff level. In other embodiments, methods for predicting a prognosis of a basal-like breast cancer and methods of treating a basal-like breast cancer are provided. |

1. A method of theranostic classification of a breast cancer tumor, the method comprising:
determining an expression level of FOXC1 in a breast cancer tumor sample, wherein the expression level of FOXC1 is determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), using forward and reverse cDNA primers having the cDNA sequences of SEQ ID NO: 6 and SEQ ID NO: 7, respectively; and classifying the breast cancer tumor sample as a theranostic basal-like breast cancer subtype or a theranostic hybrid basal-like breast cancer tumor subtype when the breast cancer tumor sample is determined to have a high expression level of FOXC1, wherein the high expression level of FOXC1 is above a 90th percentile level of FOXC1 expression levels for a dataset of breast cancer tumors, the dataset comprising all known breast cancer subtypes. |
